[PATCH -next] ndtest: Fix incorrect handling for return value of device_create_with_groups.
Posted by Lin Yujun 1 day, 8 hours ago
The return value of device_create_with_groups will not
be an null pointer, use IS_ERR() to fix incorrect handling
return value of device_create_with_groups.

Fixes: 9399ab61ad82 ("ndtest: Add dimms to the two buses")
